You said...........
"You say you know numbers. Well, it seems you do not understand that Revelation is a book of 7s. Each with a catastrophe upon the Jews who stayed in Jerusalem and suffered at the hands of the Romans. The Romans were actually God’s instrument in the punishment in Jerusalem AD67-70."
In reality I said..........
"Yes.
I am very familiar with numbers in Scriptures. "
The 7's you are referring to are the Judgments' of God in the 7 Year Tribulation Period.
There will be seven (7) seals, seven trumpets, (7) and seven bowls (7).
SEVEN judgments = 21 and are included in a set of 3 THREE. THREE sets of 7 each.
The number 3 is used 467 times in the Bible. It pictures completeness, though to a lesser degree than 7. The meaning of this number derives from the fact that it is the first of four spiritually perfect numerals (the others being 7, 10 and 12).
There are 27 books in the New Testament, which is 3 x 3 x 3, or completeness to the third power.
Jesus prayed three times i
n Gethsemane before His arrest.
He was placed on the cross at the 3rd hour of the day (9 a.m.) and died at the 9th hour (3 p.m.).
There were 3 hours of darkness that covered the land while Jesus was suffering on the cross from the 6th hour to the 9th hour.
Three is the number of resurrection. Christ was dead for 3 full days and 3 full nights a total of 72 hours,
The Seven SEAL Judgments are.........
- the first seal signifies the rising of the antichrist.
- then comes war (the second seal),
- then famine (the third seal), and
- the fourth death (the fourth seal).
- then come persecution and martyrdom (the fifth seal).
- Finally, we have terrifying cataclysms hitting the natural world (the sixth seal).
- The seventh seal is in Revelation 8:1 which contains the 7 Trumpet Judgments and the 7th Trumpet judgment contains the 7 Bowl Judgments.
The Seven TRUMPET Judgments are.......
1. Hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth.
2. Something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea.
3. A great star, blazing, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water, the name of the star is Wormwood.
4. A third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark.
5. A demonic influence, described as locusts, to torment those who have rejected God.
6. An army of 200 million men which marches into the Promised land.
7. The angel of God blows his Trumpet and the last set of 7 Judgments are the BOWL Judgments.
The SEVEN BOWL Judgments are.........
1. First Bowl: Loathsome Sores.
2. Second Bowl: The Sea Turns to Blood.
3. Third Bowl: The Fresh Waters Turn to Blood.
4. Fourth Bowl: Men Are Scorched
5. Fifth Bowl: Darkness and Pain
6. Sixth Bowl: Euphrates Dried Up
7. Seventh Bowl: The Earth Utterly Shaken
Revelation 16:17.......
17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
Now then......where in the Bible can you post the Scriptures where ALL of those events took place in a 7 year time span?????
